Let’s Talk about Nadab and Abihu!

Who were Nadab and Abihu? 1.Their Parents: Aaron and Elisheba. Exodus 6:23 2. Where were they born? In Egypt 3. Key words in their life? Burnt From Heaven

Exodus 20:1, 2… 1 Now He said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the Lord, but they shall not come near; nor shall the people go up with him."

THE INCIDENT INVOLVING NADAB AND ABIHU CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING UP TO THEIR ACTIONS...  The consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests had just been completed - Lev 8-9  In Lev 9:22-24, the glory of the Lord appeared when Aaron blessed the people Fire came out from before the Lord The fire consumed the fat on the altar The people shouted and fell on their face

THE PROFANE FIRE OFFERED BY NADAB AND ABIHU... 1.They offered a fire not commanded by the Lord - Lev 10:1 It is called a "strange" fire (cf. KJV, NASB) a. It is called a "strange" fire (cf. KJV, NASB) It is important to note is that it was something the Lord had not commanded! 2. Fire went out from the Lord and devoured them - Lev 10:2 Compare the fire of Lev 9:24 with that of Lev 10:2 a. Compare the fire of Lev 9:24 with that of Lev 10:2 Why was God displeased? Several explanations have been offered: b. Why was God displeased? Several explanations have been offered: Lev 16:12; Exodus 30:9 1) Lev 16:12; Exodus 30:9 2) The prohibition against intoxicating drinks which followed lead some to believe they may have been drunk - cf. Lev 10:8-10 3) Their attempt to enter the Holy Place at an inappropriate time - cf. Lev 16:1-2 Their sin may have been a combination of these things, but verse one notes that it was doing that which God had not commanded

MOSES' EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED... 1.Those who approach God must regard Him as "holy" - Lev 10:3a a. "Holy" means "to set apart, consecrated"; i.e., to treat as special a. "Holy" means "to set apart, consecrated"; i.e., to treat as special b. Evidently the actions of Nadab and Abihu did not so respect God b. Evidently the actions of Nadab and Abihu did not so respect God 2. God must be "glorified" before all - Lev 10:3b a. This word means "to honor" a. This word means "to honor" b. The actions of Nadab and Abihu therefore did not honor God b. The actions of Nadab and Abihu therefore did not honor God

MOSES' FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS Nadab & Abihu's bodies to be removed outside the camp - Lev 10: Aaron and his surviving sons were not to grieve while still consecrated for service - Lev 10:6-7 Aaron Do not Cry for THEM!

LESSONS TO BE GLEANED FROM THIS INCIDENT REGARDING THE WORSHIP OF GOD... When we approach God in worship, we must do only what He has commanded a. This was the mistake made by Nadab and Abihu - Lev 10:1 a. This was the mistake made by Nadab and Abihu - Lev 10:1 b. When we offer something God has not commanded... b. When we offer something God has not commanded... 1) We do not regard Him as holy - Lev 10:3 1) We do not regard Him as holy - Lev 10:3 2) We do not truly glorify Him - Lev 10:3 2) We do not truly glorify Him - Lev 10:3

2. If God is holy and truly worthy of glory... a.How can sinful man know what God desires as acceptable worship? b.Can sinful man read the mind of God? 1) If so, then God is not all that holy (i.e., set apart)! 1) If so, then God is not all that holy (i.e., set apart)! 2) If so, then God is not all that different from man and therefore not worthy of glory! 2) If so, then God is not all that different from man and therefore not worthy of glory! c. Indeed, man cannot know without Divine revelation how God ought to be worshipped and glorified - cf. Isa 55:8-9

3. This is one reason why I choose not to use mechanical instruments in worship a.In the New Testament, only singing is specified - e.g., Ep 5:19; Co 3:16 1) To offer praise with mechanical instruments... 1) To offer praise with mechanical instruments... a) Would be something God has not commanded a) Would be something God has not commanded b) Would be presumptuous on our part b) Would be presumptuous on our part 2) To do so would be trying to second-guess God 2) To do so would be trying to second-guess God a) If God wanted such, He would have told us a) If God wanted such, He would have told us b) Since He didn't, we respect Him by offering only what He commands b) Since He didn't, we respect Him by offering only what He commands

REGARDING THE PRIORITY OF GOD... 1.Service to the Lord comes before service to the family a. This we learn when Aaron was not allowed to grieve for his sons a. This we learn when Aaron was not allowed to grieve for his sons 1) It was necessary for others to take the bodies out of the camp - Lev 10:4-5 1) It was necessary for others to take the bodies out of the camp - Lev 10:4-5 2) Aaron had been consecrated, and service to the Lord came first - Lev 10:6-7 2) Aaron had been consecrated, and service to the Lord came first - Lev 10:6-7 b. Jesus made a similar point on several occasions b. Jesus made a similar point on several occasions 1) As He was calling people to follow Him - Lk 9: ) As He was calling people to follow Him - Lk 9: ) As He addressed the multitudes following Him - Lk 14: ) As He addressed the multitudes following Him - Lk 14: ) As He prepared His disciples for their work - Mt 10: ) As He prepared His disciples for their work - Mt 10: 34-37

2. When a conflict arises between service to the Lord and commitment to the family, Christ must come first! a. E.g., obeying the gospel despite the objection of family members a. E.g., obeying the gospel despite the objection of family members b. E.g., putting the assemblies of the Lord's church first when company comes b. E.g., putting the assemblies of the Lord's church first when company comes 1) This does not require that we be rude to our guests 1) This does not require that we be rude to our guests 2) Have them make themselves at home until you return – 2) Have them make themselves at home until you return – This is what it means to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" - Mt 6:33

1.It is very easy for us to become complacent in our service to God a. When this happens, it shows in our worship and service to the Lord b. Rather than regard Him as Holy and glorify Him as He deserves... 1)...by doing exactly as He commands 2)...we begin to offer in worship HOW we want and WHEN we want c.Thus our worship is one of convenience rather of conviction! 2. We need to be reminded of incidents like that which happened to Nadab and Abihu... a. To humble us in the presence of God To remind us of the seriousness of serving God Do we regard God as holy, and properly glorify Him in our service to Him? Do we serve Him first? Even above those closest to us? ‘May the example of Nadab and Abihu encourage us to do that which honors God!
